Following the eviction of three housemates during last Sunday’s live show, eight finalists—Anita, Nelly, Ocee, Onyeka, Victoria, Sooj, Kellyrae, and Wanni—have emerged, paving the way for an exciting finale.
Initially featuring 28 contestants, the show has seen 20 housemates leave over the past nine weeks. Anticipation is high as the remaining finalists compete for the grand prize of N100 million and a brand new SUV, among other rewards.
A notable highlight of this season is the introduction of pairs, including married couples and identical twins, which has added a unique dynamic to the competition.
While the last 70 days have been filled with drama and romance, some viewers feel this season has not fully met their expectations in terms of generating controversies. As the finale approaches, the atmosphere in the BBNaija house is charged with emotion, with the eight remaining housemates feeling the pressure.
Biggie is intensifying the experience by playing a series of heartfelt messages from home, offering congratulations and encouragement to the finalists, reminding them that “the only way is up.”
The messages have certainly brought moments of happiness, but they have also resulted in tears, particularly for Nelly, who sought solace in the restroom with her partner Sooj. Sooj gently encouraged Nelly to remain strong for her family, much like Anita and Onyeka. Ultimately, one contestant must be declared the winner by the conclusion of tomorrow’s live show.
Currently, many believe Sooj is likely to be the first housemate evicted, while Kellyrae is viewed as a formidable competitor due to his strategic gameplay and the recent revelation of his marriage to the evicted housemate Kassia. This unexpected twist has garnered significant support for Kellyrae, as fans rally behind him for his perseverance in the competition.
Wanni is another contender who should not be overlooked. She has demonstrated remarkable determination and skill throughout the show. Winning the Innoson Car Challenge suggests she could replicate that success in the grand finale. Known as the “energy queen” of the house, Wanni has given her all in the competition, hoping for a favorable outcome tomorrow.
Anita and Nelly are the only duo who entered the house together and reached the finals, having coined the name Nelita by merging their names. They attracted considerable attention for their individual gameplay as they advanced to the finale. The question remains: will either Anita or Nelly make history tomorrow? Other competitors like Victoria, Onyeka, and Ocee are also strong players and could deliver surprises at the grand finale.
As the countdown continues, everyone is eager to know who will claim the BBNaija grand prize of N100 million. Your guess is as good as anyone's.
